Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 291 Keeping a Secret? (First Update!)

Wanshan Temple, Crane Rest Hall.

Inside the guest room, the ghost bride stood by the bed, her fair wrist slightly raised, her slender, cold fingertips touching Zheng Que's brow.

Mu Xiangu was already dressed and got off the bed while tidying up the palace sash of the token.

She approached the ghost bride and leaned down to examine Zheng Que. She saw that Zheng Que's expression was struggling and changing rapidly. His pupils were slightly dilated, as if they had lost focus. Streams of pure yin energy were constantly being transferred from the ghost bride's fingertips into Zheng Que's body.

These yin energies vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Zheng Que's condition seemed to remain unchanged.

After observing for a moment, Mu Xiangu couldn't help but ask with great dissatisfaction, "Are you even capable?"

"Still can't dispel the illusion he's trapped in?"

She never expected that the underworld official who sent the underworld messenger to investigate her this time would actually be the ghost bride!

You should know that the main reason she chased Zheng Que all the way from Baozhen Valley to Danqiu Peak to ask for an opportunity was to deal with this ghost bride.

Given the current situation, she still needs the other party to help her prove her relationship with Zheng Que, so she definitely can't take action against him.

At least until this ghost bride goes to the underworld to report back, we can't make a move.

Otherwise, what if the other party turns around and files a complaint against you?
At this moment, the ghost bride's bright red veil, adorned with mandarin ducks playing in the water, swayed slightly, and a short, cold laugh came from beneath it. Then, a disdainful voice rang out from inside the room: "What do you, a wandering ghost, know?"

"Now all the 'strange' power is converging on him."

“This Zheng Que must have obtained the ‘law’ here.”

"For human cultivators, this is a great opportunity and a great fortune!"

"However, it is also extremely dangerous!"

"Moreover, his cultivation level is too low, only at the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu shook his head slightly and immediately said, "I once heard a very strong human cultivator say that once a cultivator's cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi Refining, they can come into contact with 'Law'."

"And most of the 'rules' need to be pieced together."

"Once the assembly is completed, this cultivator can occupy this 'law'."

"That's not how it is at all!"

The ghost bride pressed her finger between Zheng Que's eyebrows, continuously channeling her Yin energy into his body, while bluntly replying, "This proves that the cultivator who told you all this was a half-baked charlatan!"

There is a type of ghost called the 'Law Ghost'.

"Normally, it is a fragment of 'law' that has completed part of the piecing itself together, and has also incorporated the surrounding yin energy and resentment into it. By chance, it has formed its own consciousness."

“This kind of ‘law ghost’ is different from ordinary ghosts; it exists in a special form.”

"Ordinary living beings and ghosts cannot see it."

"But as soon as someone begins to piece together this 'law,' or even just comes into contact with this 'law,' they will be able to see the 'law ghost'!"

“At this time, if the cultivator’s cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, it’s fine. They can refine this ‘Law Ghost’ by establishing their foundation on the spot and undergoing the tribulation of inner demons.”

"But if one's cultivation level has not reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, or even the ninth level of Qi Refining, then the 'Law Ghost' will be pieced together into one's 'Law'!"

"This is the current situation with Zheng Que."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu frowned slightly and replied with dissatisfaction, "That cultivator only mentioned it to me casually, and I didn't ask any further questions."

"That cultivator might already know what you're saying..."

At this point, she suddenly felt something was strange. This ghost bride wasn't a cultivator, but judging from her tone, she seemed to have a great understanding of the cultivation system and related common knowledge of cultivators.

Hmm... It must have been taught to him by that great being from the underworld.

While pondering, Mu Xiangu quickly asked again, "Now that you know the problem, things are easier. How much longer do you have?"

"If that doesn't work, then let me, the immortal, do it!"

Just now in the underworld, that lord said that if this human cultivator dies, she will be in big trouble!

Therefore, although she wished the human cultivator would die soon, she could not allow anything to happen to him.

Upon hearing this, the ghost bride immediately shook her head and coldly replied, "You don't understand anything, what can you do?"

"The current situation of this human cultivator is not something that can be resolved simply by waking up."

"Instead, we must find a way to refine that 'Law Demon'!"

"Otherwise, the soul of someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining would be devoured little by little by this 'Law Ghost'."

"When this human cultivator opens his eyes again, the one living inside this skin might not be Zheng Que, but that 'Law Ghost'!"

Seeing that the ghost bride was unwilling to let her get involved, Mu Xiangu snorted coldly and immediately asked, "Then how can you save him now?"

"His aura is becoming increasingly chaotic."

“If this continues, Zheng Que’s soul won’t last much longer.”

The ghost bride did not answer the question immediately; her delicate eyebrows, hidden beneath the veil, furrowed slightly.

If this had happened in the past, her "rule" would still apply, but in this situation, it's easy to resolve.

But after the upheaval at Shujiabao...

Thinking of this, the ghost bride immediately replied, "You're right, Zheng Que's current condition really can't last much longer."

"Now, take off your clothes, lie back down on the bed, and let him continue to examine you."

“In that case, Zheng Que should be able to hold out until I find that ‘Law Ghost’…”

what? !

Mu Xiangu was furious. She had just asked Zheng Que to perform divination because she needed to put on a show for this ghost bride.

Now that the play is over, why should I let Zheng Que perform divination?

Seeing that Mu Xiangu was standing still, the ghost bride became anxious.

Her mission this time was to protect this human cultivator from harm!

Once this human cultivator is killed by the "Law Ghost," the great one in the underworld will definitely not spare him!

Thinking of this, the ghost bride immediately urged, "Hurry up!"

"Didn't you fall in love with this human cultivator at first sight and you were mutually in love?"

"Why can't you even do such a small thing?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu's face darkened immediately. Could it be that this ghost bride had seen through something and was deliberately using these words to threaten her?
Outrageous!

This ghost bride better not have any dirt on her that I can use against her!

So, Mu Xiangu reluctantly sat back on the edge of the bed, slowly undressing as she said coldly, "Ghost Bride, you should know very well what you should and shouldn't say about what happened today!"

Seeing that Mu Xiangu finally cooperated, the Ghost Bride immediately nodded. Wasn't it just about keeping the secret of being divinated?

It's easy!
In a flash, the ghost bride replied, "Don't worry!"
